Lodging & Meals

Anderson Ranch closely follows guidance released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the State of Colorado and the Pitkin County Health Department. We have established a Business Safety Plan with added layers of precaution that prioritizes the health and safety of our staff, students, faculty and guests while continuing to provide you with the Anderson Ranch experience that you know and enjoy.

Please be aware that health orders could be extended, amended or changed as needed to protect public health, which may impact Anderson Ranch’s Housing and Meals offerings and protocol. Click here for more details about registration and cancellation policies.

Summer 2024 Lodging Options

Housing offerings are very limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. The earlier you reserve housing, the better your chance of receiving your preferred option. Anderson Ranch is offering two types of single-occupancy housing for summer 2024 as well as a double-occupancy option. For the safety of the Anderson Ranch community, Ranch-provided housing is only available to students who are attending workshops.

Rates below reflect six nights of accommodations as well as select meals. A sales and lodging tax of 12.8% will be added to the lodging portion at the time of registration. To guarantee your housing reservation, payment is due in full 60 days prior to the start date of your stay. Smoking and pets are not permitted at Anderson Ranch or in Anderson Ranch-provided housing.

**Anderson Ranch Arts Center seeks to provide a living environment which is welcoming to all gender identities. We recognize that the traditional binary options do not accurately represent the full range of students that make up the Anderson Ranch community. Students who desire inclusive housing are encouraged to denote that preference in the registration process.. Gender-inclusive housing allows individuals to room together regardless of biological sex. This means that students who sign up for inclusive housing will be assigned roommates from across the entire gender spectrum. This policy has been developed to better provide a supportive environment where all students can feel safe in their housing with respect to their gender identity and gender expression. We believe that offering gender-inclusive housing is reflective of our mission to create a more inclusive campus and community environment.

Meals at The Ranch Café

Anderson Ranch has made some exciting changes in the Ranch Café! The Ranch Café now offers a creative globally inspired menu, premium coffees and teas, and a delicious and convenient Grab & Go program. You’ll find the Café a peaceful and inspirational environment to relax with fellow community members and artists from all over the world alike.

During the summer the Café serves three meals a day, Monday through Friday as well as dinner on Sunday and a continental breakfast on Saturday. All food preparation is overseen by ServSafe managers. The Café has comfortable indoor and outdoor seating that is arranged in accordance with current health and safety guidelines. Meals may be ordered to go for individuals who would like to take out and dine in other areas of campus. We will have areas across campus set aside for additional well-spaced dining.

Allergies: Anderson Ranch takes food allergies very seriously and is not equipped to handle allergic reactions. If you have specific dietary needs or life threatening allergies, booking your own accommodations off campus is your best option so you have access to a refrigerator and cooking facilities.
